Avalon
Pop Used - LP 28MM 0172 Polydor
1982 Japanese Pressing With Obi. An All-Time Classic. Appears To Have Possibly Been Played Once Or Twice. “Flesh + Blood Suggested That Roxy Music Were At The End Of The Line, But They Regrouped And Recorded The Lovely Avalon, One Of Their Finest Albums. Certainly, The Lush, Elegant Soundscapes Of Avalon Are Far Removed From The Edgy Avant-Pop Of Their Early Records, Yet It Represents Another Landmark In Their Career. With Its Stylish, Romantic Washes Of Synthesizers And Bryan Ferry's Elegant, Seductive Croon, Avalon Simultaneously Functioned As Sophisticated Make-Out Music For Yuppies And As The Maturation Of Synth Pop. Ferry Was Never This Romantic Or Seductive, Either With Roxy Or As A Solo Artist, And Avalon Shimmers With Elegance In Both Its Music And Its Lyrics. "More Than This," "Take A Chance With Me," "While My Heart Is Still Beating," And The Title Track Are Immaculately Crafted And Subtle Songs, Where The Shifting Synthesizers And Murmured Vocals Gradually Reveal The Melodies. It's A Rich, Textured Album And A Graceful Way To End The Band's Career.” Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG.... more details

Country Life
Pop Used - LP 2302 051 Polydor
Beautiful 1974 UK Red Label Second Issue (Original Was On Island) With Custom Inner Sleeve. A1/B2 Stampers. "Continuing With The Stylistic Developments Of Stranded, Country Life Finds Roxy Music At The Peak Of Their Powers, Alternating Between Majestic, Unsettling Art Rock And Glamorous, Elegant Pop/Rock. At Their Best, Roxy Combine These Two Extremes, Like On The Exhilarating Opener "The Thrill Of It All," But Country Life Benefits Considerably From The Ebb And Flow Of The Group's Two Extremes, Since It Showcases Their Deft Instrumental Execution And Their Textured, Enthralling Songwriting. And, In Many Ways, Country Life Offers The Greatest And Most Consistent Set Of Roxy Music Songs, Illustrating Their Startling Depth.

Siren
Pop Used - LP ILPS 9344 Island
1975 UK Original With A5/B5 Stampers And Black Inner Sleeve. Appears Unplayed. Jacket Is NM-. 5 Stars! “Abandoning The Intoxicating Blend Of Art Rock And Glam-Pop That Distinguished Stranded And Country Life, Roxy Music Concentrates On Bryan Ferry's Suave, Charming Crooner Persona For The Elegantly Modern Siren. As The Disco-Fied Opener "Love Is The Drug" Makes Clear, Roxy Embraces Dance And Unabashed Pop On Siren, Weaving Them Into Their Sleek, Arty Sound. It Does Come At The Expense Of Their Artier Inclinations, Which Is Part Of What Distinguished Roxy, But The End Result Is Captivating. Lacking The Consistently Amazing Songs Of Its Predecessor, Siren Has A Thematic Consistency That Works In Its Favor, And Helps Elevate Its Best Songs -- "Sentimental Fool," "Both Ends Burning," "Just Another High" -- As Well As The Album Itself Into The Realm Of Classics.” Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG.... more details

For Your Pleasure
Pop Used - LP ILPS 9232 Island
Beautiful 1973 UK Pink Rimmed Sunray Label, Laminated Gatefold Original. A1/B1 Stampers. Appears Virtually Unplayed And Plays Without Surface Noise Thorugh Both Sides At High Volume. "On Roxy Music's Debut, The Tensions Between Brian Eno And Bryan Ferry Propelled Their Music To Great, Unexpected Heights, And For Most Of The Group's Second Album, For Your Pleasure, The Band Equals, If Not Surpasses, Those Expectations. However, There Are A Handful Of Moments Where Those Tensions Become Unbearable, As When Eno Wants To Move Toward Texture And Ferry Wants To Stay In More Conventional Rock Territory; The Nine-Minute "The Bogus Man" Captures Such Creative Tensions Perfectly, And It's Easy To See Why Eno Left The Group After The Album Was Completed. Still, Those Differences Result In Yet Another Extraordinary Record From Roxy Music, One That Demonstrates Even More Clearly Than The Debut How Avant-Garde Ideas Can Flourish In A Pop Setting. This Is Especially Evident In The Driving Singles "Do The Strand" And "Editions Of You," Which Pulsate With Raw Energy And Jarring Melodic Structures. Roxy Also Illuminate The Slower Numbers, Such As The Eerie "In Every Dream Home A Heartache," With Atonal, Shimmering Synthesizers, Textures That Were Unexpected And Innovative At The Time Of Its Release. Similarly, All Of For Your Pleasure Walks The Tightrope Between The Experimental And The Accessible, Creating A New Vocabulary For Rock Bands, And One That Was Exploited Heavily In The Ensuing Decade."

Roxy Music
Pop Used - LP ILPS 9200 Island
Stunning 1972 UK Pink Rimmed Sunray Label Original Housed In A Textured Gatefold Jacket. A1/B1 Stampers. “Falling Halfway Between Musical Primitivism And Art Rock Ambition, Roxy Music's Eponymous Debut Remains A Startling Redefinition Of Rock's Boundaries. Simultaneously Embracing Kitschy Glamour And Avant-Pop, Roxy Music Shimmers With Seductive Style And Pulsates With Disturbing Synthetic Textures. Although No Musician Demonstrates Much Technical Skill At This Point, They Are Driven By Boundless Imagination -- Brian Eno's Synthesized "Treatments" Exploit Electronic Instruments As Electronics, Instead Of Trying To Shoehorn Them Into Conventional Acoustic Patterns. Similarly, Bryan Ferry Finds That His Vampiric Croon Is At Its Most Effective When It Twists Conventional Melodies, Phil Manzanera's Guitar Is Terse And Unpredictable, While Andy Mackay's Saxophone Subverts Rock & Roll Clichés By Alternating R&B Honking With Atonal Flourishes. But What Makes Roxy Music Such A Confident, Astonishing Debut Is How These Primitive Avant-Garde Tendencies Are Married To Full-Fledged Songs, Whether It's The Free-Form, Structure-Bending "Remake/Remodel" Or The Sleek Glam Of "Virginia Plain," The Debut Single Added To Later Editions Of The Album. That Was The Trick That Elevated Roxy Music From An Art School Project To The Most Adventurous Rock Band Of The Early '70s.” Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG.... more details

As Such, It Was Placed Perfectly To Wrap Up Any Wallflowers Who'd Fallen For The Slick Uber-Disco Stylings Of The Group's Recent Singles, Not Only Reiterating The Biggest Hits ("Dance Away," "Angel Eyes," "Over You"), But Also Rounding Up Some Deserving Album Tracks As Well -- The Calming Sophistication Of "Ain't That So" And "Still Falls The Rain," The Exquisite Rendering Of "In The Midnight Hour" And So Forth. In The Larger Scheme Of Things, The Atlantic Years Offers Nothing That So Many Other Compilations Cannot Compete With, But Anybody Looking For A Bite-Sized Souvenir Of Manifesto And Flesh + Blood Will Not Find Much To Complain About.” – Dave Thompson, AMG... more details

Lead Singer Bryan Ferry And Guitarist Phil Manzanera Sound Quite Inspired Much Of The Time, And Manzanera Delivers Some Excellent Solos. Longtime Roxy Devotees Will Want To Savor Engaging Versions Of "Out Of The Blue" And "Both Ends Burning" (Both Of Which Were Heard On Viva), As Well As Such Favorites As "Dance Away," "Avalon" And The Clever "Love Is The Drug." Roxy Comes Closer To A Mainstream Rock Sound On Enjoyable Interpretations Of Neil Young's "Like A Hurricane" And John Lennon's "Jealous Guy," But Even Then, The Distinctive Band's Quirky Art-Rock Tendencies Remain.” Alex Henderson, All Music Guide.... more details
